3.2.1. Syntax
A command is described by its
syntax , for example:
show interface list { status | statistics | capabilities | switchport | veriphy }
and
show erps [ groups ] [ detail | statistics ]
Note Syntax is represented in a slightly different manner in this documentation as
compared to a ICLI session. In this document, variable parameters are written in italics ,
whereas a I
CLI session will display such items surrounded by ‘<’ and ‘>’.
The semantics are:
 keywords are written in bold
 parameters are written in italics
 [ ... ] indicates an optional construct: It may or may not be present
 { ... } indicates a grouping; the constructs within belong together
 ‘|’ indicates a choice between two or more alternatives, (e.g., a | b | c which reads as
“a or b or c”).
Thus, the first command syntax is simple: First show , then interface , then a list of
interfaces, then exactly one of ‘status’, ‘statistics’, ‘capabilities’, ‘switchport’ and ‘veriphy’.
The second command is a bit more complex:
show and erps are mandatory, but then the
remaining parameters and keywords are optional: The user may enter group IDs; the user
may
enter either ‘statistics’ or ‘detail’. For example:
! Show short-form ERPS (Ethernet Ring Protection Switching)
! information for all instances: myDevice#
show erps
...
! Show statistics for all instances:
myDevice#
show erps statistics
...
! Show details for all instances:
myDevice#
show erps detail
...
! But it is not allowed to show details and statistics at the same
! time:
myDevice# show erps detail statistics
^
% Invalid word detected at '^' marker.
! Show details for specific set of instances:
myDevice#
show erps 1-6 detail
...
